| Commissioner Miller says that the
new arrangement of districts will not,
in any manner, interfere with the con-
venience of the taxpayers and will save
to the government more than 100000 a
year. 1t is said to be the intention to
require such collectors as are now occu-
pying rented offices, to remove to the
government buildings in all cases where
it is practicable; and it is also probable
that other changes will be made which
will insure still greater economy and
| efficiency in the management of this
branch of the government service. The
order of consolidation was carefully
considered and was agreed upon by the
president, the secretary of the treasury
and the commissioner of internal
| revenue.
